PANAMA CANAL.
AN OUTSIDE OPINION. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. London, August 30.

The Daily Mail says that the United States has only one ground for refusing to arbitrate over the Canal namely, that having broken one treaty President Taft and the Senate may insist on their right to break another one. A GERMAN PROTEST. Received 1, 5.6 p.m. Berlin, August 31. The Vossiehe Zeitung furiously attacks President Taft in expectation of his refusal to go to arbitration with Britain, and his disregard of treaties, including bis own arbitration proposals of a few months ago.
